Ouch...steel toe cap boots may be a tad cautious for the bedroom! but I have worn them on manufacturing shop-floors.

For the most part, Aboriginal Australians traditionally would go barefoot - occasionally fashioning a kind of shoe/sandal from possum pelts or bark, e.g.

Some temples in Asia, of course, insist on bare footin'.

For the first few years of my life, I slept in braced boots, designed to stop my clubfoot from bending back in - that, and the earlier operation, seemed to go quite well as I managed to play A-grade junior football plus tennis, and make a few walkabouts.
